Young Canadian Simmental Association The Young Canadian Simmental Association (YCSA) is the leading youth program in the Canadian cattle industry today.

The program focuses on education, teamwork, and hands-on experience for young, future cattle people. Events are held throughout summer and fall in different areas across the country for youth to participate in. The YCSA events include many different activities to arm our youth with the tools they will require to become not only better cattlemen and cattlewomen, but better business people as well. Along with the traditional showing of cattle at YCSA Classic Events, competitors must also complete herdsman and sire summary quizzes, and compete in an animal judging competition. Additionally, several other competitions are also often held, such as graphic marketing, sales talk, public speaking, and team showing. The age groups involved in the YCSA range from under 10 to 25 years old, so the youth are always actively helping each other out. It is a great environment for youth to learn to work together and learn from each other. The younger competitors have a chance to learn how to work more independently, and the older youth have the opportunity to fulfill leadership roles, that will be so fundamental in their future endeavours in life. Most importantly is the life-long friendships that arise out of this program. The weekend events always include lots of fun evening activities, such as the Beef Bowl competition, wiener roasts, socials, camping, and even a Simmental Idol! There is no end to the creative ideas our National Youth Board and members of the YCSA will come up with to do for entertainment at each and every event! Anyone can become a member of the YCSA - even if you do not have registered Simmental cattle! If you would like to become a member, you can contact us or go to the next YCSA Event in your area, and we will have the applications forms where you can instantly become a member! Don't miss out on all the FUN!
